Frig..........

Just forget me saying that I left you with 2 layouts,because I see that I started you with them.Some day I will get on to when to include things. I thought they would be uploaded at the end of my post,but they got in at the first.Oh well..........

Ever hear a song.................

that makes you flash back to your youth? Oh, the days.........I just heard Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl" on the radio as I drove Dave back to work.I cranked it up and didn't let my hair blow in the breeze as I was too freaking cold! Anyway, I love those moments that make me feel not quite as old.

I am so bad in blogging lately.........Not much new in my life.March break is over thankfully and the kids are back in school,so I have a little more me time. I love having them home,but I don't enjoy the constant bickering. We did manage to get away for a couple of long boring snowed in days.

Everyone is home from Florida and Julie is pumped to go. I can't stop searching and reading and looking. I have become possessed with this. I love to plan fun! I could be payed to plan other peoples fun. I think that would be an awesome job.Fun,fun,fun.........I love to have fun. I will probably only get to Disney once with my kids and I want it to be a trip to remember. I want them to have the time of their lives and be filled with that magical feeling the whole time they are there.

I have been scrapping some,and I have found out that I am the embellinator.I know,my own little word,but I don't know what else to call it. I can't stop..........I want more and more flowers,more chipboard,more bling!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of that.......I made a little E-Bay purchase today. I ordered some Maya Road chipboard hearts and stars. I never knew they sold them all painted. I got neutral colors.You can always paint them.While I was at it, I figured that I might just as well through in some office sheers..........tee hee, I made myself all giddy submitting that order.Next on my E-bay list of must haves are those stinking cute little Prima Pop Up Birds.....Like who doesn't like a Pop Up Bird........LOL.Then on my quest to find them, I found that they have pop up dragon flies,hearts,stars and oh yes tags and bookplates......I tell ya, I nearly Popped out of my chair.There was a whole lot of purring going on.

Ok enough senseless banter from me.....I'll leave you with a couple of my recent LO's.The Teddy Bear one was for the MPC. We were to rough it up..........and rough it up I did. I was tearing and sanding, inking and ripping. I love this look on a LO.The next LO was one I did for Pencil Lines.I have sooooooo many pictures of Jenna's wedding to scrap.I know that they are now split up,but I love the pictures and who knows, maybe they will get back together,but for now I need those pics.and I'm a gonna use them.Not to mention that many of them have the world's cutest little flower girl in them!

Ok so I am not quite sure how to get the picture and my writing all in one post.I took this picture of a new house while sailing into the harbor on our ferry.It isn't hard to tell that this is a summer home owned by someone from away.Someone who doesn't realize how much wind and freezing spray that they are going to get.Not to mention the fact that the drive way up to the house is pretty scary.Scary like the plumber couldn't get up the hill and started rolling back and smashed his van up.Oh well, it is a new addition to the island and you,yes you could rent it for $1000 a week!Let's get those telephones ringing girls:)

I think I might feel some mojo starting to bubble up within me.Could be gas,who knows.....lol. I was just searching some blogs and WOW!!!!!!!!! there is some awesome talent out there. My mind is whirling.I think that some of these ladies must have everything they need right at their fingertips,kinda like Macgyver or however you spell it.Honestly, I have never seen so many embellishments! I love embellishments.Can't wait for the new CHA stuff to start rolling in.

Good Sunday Morning:)

LOL

Ok I will be right back ladies.You are so lucky that I got one pic. uploaded because my second time I got them uploaded,but they were not the pictures that I chose.Couldn't be, I couldn't of done something wrong.......LOL.I think once I get the hang of this, you will be sick and tired of seeing my pictures. I am going to play sneaky like Vanessa and just show a tiny bit of a picture.

I should actually play Stump The Dummy with you guys.This is a new facebook group from around here. People take pictures and we have to post what they are or where they are taken.Dh guessed one last night and was pretty impressed with himself. Some of them are so hard,and have never been figured out. The people who took the pictures will give hints after a bit.Sneaky and right up my alley.Stay tuned for a Stump The Dummy Julie D Style:)

A Layout I finished recently:)

SUPER NANNY WHERE ARE YOU???????

I am here to tell you that Evan has been home for less than an hour and it is has been one hurdle after another. Who helps with these sort of things? Why is my son so difficult,and demanding.I seriously think he has anger issues and I have never dealt with it and I don't know how.People will tell me that just needs a good stick on his you know what........Well guess what.....done that,after I chased him through the house and out the door. It is -10 or something and him with no coat or shoes on his feet.

I should mention that this all started because I got tired of him demanding I do things without saying please to me.It is just a simple request and he knows his manners,so why not use them? Instead we will engage in a manners standoff,in which I am ultimately the winner,but I end up feeling helpless and sad.I think I am failing in the parenting department with child number 3.I never had any issues with the other two.

I sent him to his room and I sit in the livingroom on the verge of tears while I listen to him scream and holler and kick and threaten to smash his window out.

He always talks nasty to me,and everything is "friggin" this and "friggin" that.He calls his siblings jerks.I am at my wits end here. I don't know what to do!!!!!!! Am I doing something wrong.

Now I should mention that there are moments when he is an angel,other than when he is sleeping. He never ever cuts up these actions with his father.

Sorry for the long boring vent:(
